International Tiger Day 2025 Date and Theme: According to the World Wildlife Fund (WWF), approximately 100,000 tigers roamed the wild a century ago, while current estimates suggest there are only about 4,000 remaining today, and this number is decreasing.
Global Tiger Day is a global observance that seeks to preserve tigers’ natural habitats and raise public awareness and support for conservation efforts worldwide.
The day is celebrated on July 29 annually, and this year, it’s being observed on July 29, 2025, falling on a Tuesday.
It was first established in 2010 at the Saint Petersburg Tiger Summit, highlights the alarming decline in tiger populations and the urgent need for conservation efforts.
Thirteen tiger-range countries, including Bangladesh, Nepal, Bhutan, Malaysia, India, and Russia, attended the summit.
Under the “Tx2” program, the primary goal was to double the tiger population by 2022 through international collaboration and conservation effort; since then, the day has come to represent a global campaign to safeguard tigers.
While the theme is yet to be announced, the previous year slogans for the day have included “Roar for Tigers” and “Save Tigers, Save Forests, Save Life.”
